Assistant Professor of Finance and Business Economics
USC Marshall School of Business Research Interests: Labor and Finance, Firm Dynamics, Asset Pricing, Corporate Finance, AI and Big Data A main goal of my research is to integrate the finance literature with labor economics to provide a more comprehensive understanding of firms' decision-making. I have studied questions central to recent corporate concerns, including firms' adoption of automation and AI in the workplace, responses to government job-creation stimulus, competition for key talent, and reactions to regulatory burdens. My approach combines careful empirical designs and measurements, utilizing high-quality microdata alongside economic theory, to derive implications for firm performance, asset pricing, and policy making. I teach Business Finance at USC and received the “Golden Apple Award for Core Teaching” in 2023 voted by students.  What's New?
